as mornings and mossgreen I. Step to the window by Friederike Mayrcker
Poetic prose meditations translated superbly into English. Austrian poet Friederike Mayröcker is widely considered one of the most important European poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The last book of hers to be published during her lifetime, as mornings and moosgreen I. Step to the window is an elliptical and, if at times cryptic, deeply personal, playful, and highly poetic collection of experiences, memories, dreams, desires, fears, visions, observations, and peregrinations through landscapes both real and imagined. The volume bears witness to her unique late lyrical style of pyrotechnical cut-up. Among many others, her beloved Derrida, Duchamp, Hölderlin, and Jean-Paul all appear, almost like guides, as Mayröcker bravely makes her way through infirmity, old age, and loneliness, prolonging her time as a prolific writer as much as possible.
Friederike Mayröcker (1924–2021) is widely considered one of the most important Austrian poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The recipient of numerous awards, including the renowned Georg Büchner Prize, she published over eighty works, including poetry, prose, radio plays, and children’s books. Alexander Booth is a writer and translator. He lives in Berlin.
